Live and act

Antonie Milberg was the daughter of a businessman who died while she was still a child. Her mother denied her early wish to become a teacher for a long time, but changed her mind on her deathbed. Antonie Milberg then received a teacher training at the Royal Teachers' Seminar in Callenberg , which she completed in 1876 with the exam. Then she went back to her native town, where she hired Hermann Julius Robert Calinich , senior pastor at the St. Jacobi Church , as a private teacher for major daughters. The teaching concept of so-called courses with a few participants came from Calinich himself.

In addition to teaching, Milberg passed an exam as head of department. After Hermann Julius Robert Calinich died in 1883, Toni Milberg, who was venerated by many families, founded the so-called "Milbergsche Kursusschule" based on the Raboisen . In 1883, Milberg, who placed great value on character and mood, acquired a school building on Esplanade number 3. The school later moved to a larger property at Klopstockstrasse 17 (today's Warburgstrasse). Antonie Milberg, for whom school rules and the curriculum were not the essential elements of school education, ran the teaching facility for 25 years together with her friend Martha Krecke. Krecke took over the school after Antonie Milberg's death.

The tombstone of Antonie Milbergs can be found today in the women's garden at Ohlsdorf cemetery .
